The person who dragged this young girl into a political firestorm is none other than her own mother.

This whole thing smells to high heaven, but even if you can believe the story as the Palins claim it, my question is this –

Why, in response to the internet rumors, would Ms. Palin “out” her daughter’s pregnancy to deflect attention? Why couldn’t Palin just prove that the infant is hers by trotting out the doctor who delivered the baby to vouch for her? Why not just release a copy of the birth records? Why not submit to a DNA test — anything, ANYTHING….. to protect her teenage daughter who is facing a very difficult time.

But no, she decides to cover herself by publicly revealing her unmarried, teenage daughter’s pregnancy instead — even though she kept her own alleged pregnancy a secret until she was 7 months along. It would have been very easy to keep the daughter’s pregnancy under wraps for the next two months by claiming “child of a candidate” privacy and removing her from the public eye. There were countless ways to squelch the internet rumors without involving the 17 year old child.

And one more point — if the daughter and the boyfriend have been planning all along to keep the baby and get married, then why weren’t they married as soon as she learned she was pregnant? Seems to me that’s the way most politically savvy fundies would have handled it — just have the kids get married as soon as the pregnancy test comes back positive. Then, at the VP selection event, they introduce the daughter and her husband and explain they are young and in love and having a baby.

This whole thing is so bizarre and who knows what the real truth is, but one thing is clear. Sarah Palin is a very selfish mother, and her children are to be pitied. Palin is not a bad mother because her teenage daughter got pregnant — she’s a bad mother because she didn’t do everything in her power to protect her own daughter. Instead, she threw her to the wolves in the media.

I admit that this is ridiculous but this is more about judgment. McCain’s judgment for choosing a running mate that has a house full of problems, not to mention troopergate. How in the world is she going to be able to focus on running the “free world”? Two this is also about a self professed family first values candidate; her behavior is not indicative of that belief. Her daughter is going to need her instead she throws her under the bus. (Now were have I heard that term before)

How is saying, "I fully support her decision and we will do everything we can to help her" throwing her under the bus?

Let me make sure I know the score here:

Palin's teenage daughter having a baby: evidence of bad judgment

Obama launching his campaign at Bill Ayer's house: distraction

McCain not know how many investment properties his wife owns: evidence of elitism

Obama not knowing that his pastor of 20 years says crazy shit on a pretty regular basis: distraction

Wild-ass rumor that Palin faked a pregnancy to shield teenage daughter from publicity: something that the press should pursue even though it is 99.9% likely to be false

Completely plausible (and true) rumor that Edwards was having an affair with a woman being paid off by his campaign and later paid off by his campaign coordinator: a vicious smear that should not even be mentioned, even after the Enquirer breaks the story.

Yes agreed bad judgment regarding Bristol. Obama and Ayer’s you really want to go there, when your VP candidate was once apart of well known secessionist movement.

“McCain not know how many investment properties his wife owns: evidence of elitism

Obama not knowing that his pastor of 20 years says crazy shit on a pretty regular basis: distraction”

Yep I would call that evidence of elitism. We are going to have different opinions regarding Obama’s pastor and that’s that. Some of the things he said were right out there in left field and it was a distraction.

“Wild-ass rumor that Palin faked a pregnancy to shield teenage daughter from publicity: something that the press should pursue even though it is 99.9% likely to be false”

Whether Palin faked the pregnancy or not is far not the issue for me. Family first value candidate is doing everything but putting her family first. No doctor in his right mind that believes in the Hippocratic oath is going to allow a woman in labor to board a plane and fly home especially if she is already a candidate for a high risk pregnancy.

“Completely plausible (and true) rumor that Edwards was having an affair with a woman being paid off by his campaign and later paid off by his campaign coordinator: a vicious smear that should not even be mentioned, even after the Enquirer breaks the story.”

I would just like to point out that the fake story (Palin taking her child's child and raising it as her own to save her daughter embarassment, etc.) is exactly the reason the real story had to come out.

The same people who were smearing her for that would have smeared her for concealing the current pregnancy.
